Glaukos led the Greek tribesmen from their tribal hunting and fishing lifestyles in the northern woods and tundra, to start an organized society of centralized city settlements, where trade and production could flourish. Glaukos picked the location for Sparta, and directed groups of Greek people to stretch out to settle more lands.
Glaukos is a man of incredible vision, having a strong sense of practicality, but also the keen creativity of a hunter, expressed in Glaukos's stern urgency on what must be done to prepare for the Greek people for future tribulations.
Glaukos had traveled far and wide with his father when he was younger, and had met many other tribes of people. He knew that the Greeks would have to seize as much land as possible, for eventually the Greeks would strain the land's resources, and any of the other tribes which had seized more land and resources could eventually overrun the Greeks through sheer numbers. He also knew of large rivers to the south that could supply drink to large groups of people. Glaukos wanted the Greeks to prosper for eternity.
Even though Glaukos told the people of sparta to split into 3, he did not leave the small groups of Greeks lacking in defense. Glaukos spearheaded the training of the best hunters into organized and disciplined troops of bowmen, which in mock battles have been shown to be able to hold off troops of men 5 times their number.
The 3 cities were set from each other in the form of a triangle. Groups of messengers camped intermediately in the gaps that connected the cities, so they could relay messages as fast as one person running nonstop. The archer groups themselves also camped midway between the cities early on, when their numbers were stretched too thin to garrison all three cities. The organization between the 3 cities certainly matched the Triangle not only in shape, but also matched the Triangle's unparalleled sturdiness in bearing weight and pressure.
